Hofstra returns to NCAA Tournament for first time since 2001 | |
WASHINGTON (AP) Eli Pemberton dreamed since he was 6 years old about playing in the NCAA Tournament. He'll get to live that dream after helping end the Hofstra Pride's 18-year drought without an appearance. Pemberton scored 12 of his 19 points in the second half and Hofstra came from behind to beat Northeastern 70-61 Tuesday night to win the Colonial Athletic Association Tournament and return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2001.
